Spoilers Agatha All Along discussion

I mean, it took 25 minutes to decide to make a potion?

There were only 15 minutes left on the clock when they first realized that was the solution, and then they got distracted looking for ingredients and having hallucinations.

So, fifteen minutes to for that out? It was a decent episode, I generally liked it.... But I'm not sure I understood why it took so long

My money is that Sharon is not truly dead.

Also, the episode did nothing to make me start liking any of the characters or caring about their success or welfare

Teen is okay, but otherwise we have a villain protagonist and a bunch of suckers manipulated into helping said villain gain unlimited power by passing a bunch of silly tests.

Yeah, you can tell that as if she was perma-dead there would have been no point in keeping the body around.

Meh. TV shows and movies never measure the passage of time accurately. Everything moves at the speed of plot.

Eh? The episode ended right after the pronouncement that she was dead. How is that "keeping the body around"?

 

[Paul Farquhar]

Well, they were being so blatant about that this episode, that it better be something else.

...especially because making a series about a female villain focus on them being a mother first and foremost would be uhhh something.

Not just this episode. The cop show in episode one gave “Agnes O’Connor” a missing child called Nicholas.

Oh, did anyone else notice the “Connor’s” sign in episode two? Maybe Agatha isn’t “out” at all?

Could have left it in the house if it served no further narrative purpose.

They didn't know she was dead until after they'd left. Perhaps she didn't die until after they left. I mean, I agree that she might not be dead, but the fact that they didn't leave her body behind in the rapidly flooding house isn't a good enough reason for me.

Why did potion guy wear her amulet at a jaunty angle? That mysteriously switched sides between shots?
